Solomon’s New Zombie Order

Courtney Solomon, head of After Dark Films and director of last year’s successful An American Haunting, is ready to give fans a whole new take on zombies.

Talking to the folks at Coming Soon, Solomon revealed that one of the films After Dark is working on as we speak is a new zombie movie, though a title was not handed out as of yet. He seems to have some pretty high hopes for it, calling it a zombie version of Underworld; “It’s a cross between humans and zombies, with a whole new lore and a whole new take on zombies – the powers they have and how fast they move. They’re no longer shambling. They are fast, furious and dangerous and they have a whole emotional side to them and conflict. It’s a completely different take on zombies than anybody’s done.”

Solomon keeps an eye on our genre both through frequent visits to message boards and good old fashioned research and believes the time is right for new look at zombies. Though I don’t necessarily disagree, I do wish they’d try a whole new type of horror movie first, something that hasn’t been done before.
